I have strong reason to believe this salon uses Methyl Methacrylate Monomer (MMA),which is for their acrylic nails. It is a violation of California Board of Barbering &Cosmetology regulations for MMA to be used in a salon.I had always been ok with acrlyic nails and here my cuticles became swollen, itchy, severe pain & they had a burning sensation. Usually salons that have low prices are ones that contain MMA. I have stopped getting my nails done and my cuticles have been ruined from this! They are so dry and they crack now. Now I know why these nails never come off even after a month. Some people have no side effects to this chemical but that doesn't make it ok or safe to use! How dare this place do this to their customers to save money? They recycle used accetone. After someones nails has been soaking in the acetone she pours it back into the bottle! Very poor hygiene for any salon to do. Any one who has got their nails done here knows mimi over drills the nails and roughly files them. This place needs to be checked out immediately!!! Do some research of your own about MMA.







Signs your nail salon may be using MMA:







Tingling or numbness of the fingers

Whitening of the fingers

Damaged nail beds

Irritated skin around the nail bed

Salons using MMA will have a markedly different smell to

them than regular acrylic

Difficulty in removing your clients acrylic nails (The

MMA acrylic combination has a much harder surface than the

pure acrylic combination.)

Employees in the salon tend to wear masks to avoid the

Over drilling so the acrylic can adhere to you natural nail better

Excessive nail filing (Acrylic containing MMA is harder to file
